The new episodes have been STELLAR. i even think they are outdoing themselves in this last arc. rarely has a cdrama make me care about so many characters. I cried for general qin . I felt every emotion with general Zhou. a true testament to how the actors gave everything in this drama and really believed in the story. even the villains are not one dimensional. the young emperor is indeed evil but also very conflicted and is not bloodthirsty. Luo Zi Zhang is actually COMPETENT in his evilness and very strategic. From the teasers , we are getting a satisfying ending . i hope it is indeed that way and this serie end on a great note.
omg i just saw the new trailer and it's hilarious . we rarely get a brazen flirty FL who is also competent and not boy crazed. I suspect that her attitude is part of an act here which makes it even better. I just hope the story is actually coherent and engaging (from the novel summary it's the stuff i like most) and for youku get their act together with the subs cuz I will be skipping till we get good translations.
last week of destined. this has been by far my fave costume drama of 2023. i hope the last episodes don't disappoint so i can come back to it from time to time.
I have to comment on the quality of the production. The filler flashbacks have been minimal, as of episode 36.…
i agree with the songs choices not being the best. some took away from important scenes like the reunion for example . didn't have the proper emotional weight and i blame in part the ballad played while it happened. i would have prefered and instrumental or if they had to go with a ballad at least something stronger and more fitting.
The acting in this show is on another level. Everyone is committed and doing such wonderful job. I find faking death trope tired tbh but I respect that at least it serves a huge purpose here.
